different coefficients (3/2,5/2...)

How are these coefficients calculated for the equation of Utot=(3/2)nRT?

There’s a table in the book on pg 266 with different coefficients for different molecules

Do we have to memorize certain coefficients for important instances?

These coefficients were experimentally determined, so they are given. They're also on the equation sheet given to us during tests.
